Battery

My 4 year-old 2020 LS500 battery tests 12.1 volts.
I figure at best it might last another 6 months.
Should I replace it before taking a 1,300 mile trip?

That's 50% discharge state according to 'the chart'. I'd say push it since your travel will be charging it. Moreover, it's an AGM which will last longer than a conventional wet plate.

Agm

My last AGM, in a 2018 F150, died at 48 months. I expected more. Previous AGMs in Miatas lasted 8-10 years.
Guess I’ll try to make it till the end of the year with this one.
